Fried (8-1) picked up the win Thursday against Cleveland, allowing one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Fried began the 2025 season with a 1.29 ERA across his first 11 starts before being tagged for six earned runs in five innings by the Dodgers in his most recent appearance. The 31-year-old southpaw bounced back in a big way Thursday, holding Cleveland to just one hit and firing his fifth scoreless start of the season. Fried has struck out seven or more batters in six of his 12 starts this season and boasts a 1.78 ERA across 81 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Royals next time out.

Fried (7-1) allowed six runs on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over five-plus innings Friday, taking the loss versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Fried entered the sixth inning up 5-2, but he yielded a second solo home run to Shohei Ohtani and wasn't able to recover. Jonathan Loaisiga and Tim Hill failed to stop the bleeding, and the Yankees didn't muster a response later in the game, leaving Fried with an ugly first loss of the campaign. This is the second time he's given up six runs this year, but the first was in his season debut, and only two of them were earned in that outing. Despite Friday's performance, Fried still has a 1.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 70:16 K:BB through 75 innings over 12 starts this season. The southpaw will look to get back on track at home versus the Guardians next week.

Fried (7-0) earned the win against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out seven across 7.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Fried needed only 83 pitches (57 strikes) to work his way into the eighth inning, generating 12 whiffs and inducing 10 ground balls in the process. It was Fried's first win since May 2 against the Rays, and the 31-year-old southpaw hasn't lost a regular-season game in his last 13 starts. He hasn't allowed more than two runs in a start this season, and his 1.29 ERA (across 70 innings) is best in the majors. Fried will have his hands full in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against the Dodgers.

Fried didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's win over the Mets, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Fried's excellent start to 2025 continued Sunday, as he notched his seventh quality start in his last eight appearances while allowing no extra-base hits. The 31-year-old has yet to allow more than two earned runs in a start this season and has punched out eight or more hitters in three outings. Fried is tied for the league lead in wins (six) and sits atop MLB in ERA (1.29) among qualified players.

Fried didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Seattle after allowing one run on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Fried wasn't very efficient, throwing just 57 of his 91 pitches for strikes, and Tuesday marked just the third time this year that he didn't hurl at least six innings. Even so, the star left-hander has worked at least five innings while giving up one run or less in seven of his last eight outings. Fried boasts a 1.11 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB over 56.2 innings ahead of his next scheduled outing versus the Rangers, who have a dismal .623 OPS against left-handed pitching through their first 42 games.

Fried allowed one run on five hits while striking out eight batters over seven innings but did not factor into the decision against the Padres on Wednesday. He did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Fried's lone blemish came in the fourth inning, when he yielded a solo homer to Jackson Merrill, but it was overall another outstanding performance by the 31-year-old southpaw, generating 11 whiffs while tossing 100 pitches (67 strikes). Fried has recorded six-straight quality starts and hasn't given up more than two earned runs across his eight starts this season. He leads the American League with a 1.05 ERA, while his 0.91 WHIP ranks fourth among qualified starters in the AL. Fried is slated to make his next start on the road against the Mariners next week.

Fried (6-0) picked up the win in Friday's 3-0 victory over the Rays, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
It was another dominant performance by Fried, who faced the minimum number of batters in four of the seven innings. He generated 11 whiffs on 92 pitches (61 strikes) while inducing 10 groundball outs. Fried has recorded five straight quality starts and has allowed two or fewer runs in all seven of his outings this season. His six wins leads the majors and his 1.01 ERA through 44.2 innings is second best behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto (0.90). Fried is lined up to face the Padres at home next week.

Fried (5-0) earned the win in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Fried gave up two hits and two walks in the first frame but limited the damage to one run. He settled in over the next five innings and retired the last eight batters he faced (including three strikeouts) to earn his fourth quality start of the season. Fried has a 1.43 ERA and 1.06 WHIP, which ranks third and 14th in the American League, respectively, among qualified starters. He'll look for a sixth-straight win in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Rays.

Fried and the Yankees won't play against the Blue Jays on Saturday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday's game will be made up during a doubleheader Sunday, and Fried will start the first of the two contests. The 31-year-old southpaw threw 7.1 shutout frames during his last start against Tampa Bay and will be looking to record a fifth consecutive win Sunday.

Fried (4-0) earned a win after he pitched 7.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch while striking out two in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Fried silenced Tampa Bay for his longest outing of the 2025 campaign, never allowing a baserunner to reach second base Sunday. The left-hander has now logged three consecutive quality starts, producing an 0.85 ERA and 0.76 WHIP with 20 strikeouts over 21.1 innings during that stretch. Fried's next start is tentatively set to come Saturday at home versus Toronto.
